Dear Care Quality Commission,

Please send me copies of all correspondence, reports of meetings and inspectors records for your investigation / inspection of Valley Supported Living, leading up to your most recent report about the organisation.

I do not wish to see any personal details about service users and their care - I am interested mainly matters relating to financial safeguarding and management

With both thanks and my best regards

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Cranidge-Phillips

 

I write in response to your correspondence of 20 January 2018 in which you
asked for the following information:

 

“Please send me copies of all correspondence, reports of meetings and
inspectors records for your investigation / inspection of Valley Supported
Living, leading up to your most recent report about the organisation. I do
not wish to see any personal details about service users and their care -
I am interested mainly matters relating to financial safeguarding and
management.”

Please find our response in the attached decision notice.  We are sorry to
advise you that CQC will not provide the requested information. We have
made this decision based upon the volume of information that you have
requested and the subsequent burden that would be caused to CQC in
complying with the request in its entirety.  However we have provided a
redacted copy of our inspection notes from the June 2017 inspection, as
they may be of assistance to you.

 

The decision notice provides a more detailed explanation for withholding
this information. It explains why the information is exempt from
disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) and your right
to challenge this decision if you are unhappy with it. 

 

CQC will always endeavour to provide high quality responses to requests
